THEATRE + COMEDY

The Texas Repertory Theatre Co., Houston’s Uptown Classic Theatre, begins its 8th Anniversary Season with the rollicking Ken Ludwig comedy Leading Ladies, opening August 23rd, and running through September16th. Directed by Rachel Mattox.

Hysterical hi-jinx abound in this hilarious comedy about two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, who find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge Circuit… When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash.

The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! A madcap, laugh-out-loud, “Some Like it Hot” comedy from the author of Lend Me a Tenor and I Hate Hamlet, Leading Ladies is sure to launch the new season in rib-tickling style!

The Texas Repertory Theatre production of Leading Ladies features an outstanding cast anchored by two of Houston’s finest comic actors, Jeffrey S. Lane and Texas Repertory Artistic Director Steven Fenley. The cast also includes audience favorites Lauren Dolk, Don Hampton, Marcy Bannor, and David Walker, as well as actress Mischa Hutchins and actor Kyle Cameron making their Texas Rep debut.
